RE: Can you tell if a vinyl collection has been cherry picked?

" are there any tell take clues that the best stuff is missing? "

Yes, it's no longer there :-)

If the collection was offered with a manifest then it should be obvious what has already gone. Otherwise it depends upon what you think are cherries. If you mean records of high value on the general used market then if you do find a couple in the collection it is unlikely that a dealer has had first pickings. If they are are cherries that are only of interest to your personal memories/enthusiasms, then who knows?

Of course the vendor may never have owned any cherries in the first place. Or specific cherries may have gone to the vendor's friends who asked for them on learning of the sale. Or the vendor may just be thinning his collection and not getting rid of it wholesale.

At the end of the day you will never know for sure.

Just see what there is and go for it if of interest to you, cherry picked or not. If there had once been cherries then there is nothing you can do about it so why worry?
